Overview
In October 2006, Constellation Energy announced plans to build
the nation’s largest nuclear power plant in southern Maryland.
Nuclear power is a poor solution to Maryland’s energy and global warming
problems. Not only is nuclear power extremely expensive, but it also poses threats to public safety and the
environment.
Maryland PIRG is working to stop the construction of a new nuclear
reactor in Maryland and is advocating for safer and more affordable
alternatives.
